At Vetmatch, we’re excited to be working with a truly special flagship hospital in Southwest London—an independently run practice that combines modern veterinary medicine with family values and deep local roots. This is more than a job; it’s a chance to be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team where continuity of care is central and your clinical input genuinely matters.
The role follows a unique 7-on, 7-off rota—alternating weekly between 8am–8pm day shifts and 8pm–8am night shifts. It’s an ideal setup for vets who want real work-life balance without compromising on case variety or clinical development. You’ll have the space to immerse yourself during your working week and the freedom to fully switch off during your time off—perfect for those who value rhythm, recovery, or time to travel, study, or rest.
This hospital has a long and respected history, with roots dating back to the 1890s. A major refurbishment and expansion transformed it into a state-of-the-art facility that now delivers a rare combination of general practice, advanced treatment, 24-hour emergency cover, and hospital-level care—all under one roof. The result is a clinical environment where vets can follow cases through, build real trust with pet owners, and collaborate closely with a team of highly skilled colleagues.
What truly sets this practice apart is its ethos. As a family-owned and run group, their approach is grounded in kindness, integrity, and doing what’s right—for pets, for people, and for their team. Vets are given autonomy and support in equal measure. Investment in training and equipment is ongoing, and the leadership team is approachable and hands-on, with a real focus on wellbeing, teamwork, and long-term career growth.
Whether you're looking to deepen your ECC experience, work more flexibly, or join a team where your voice is heard and your skills are appreciated, this could be your next step. The hospital is easily accessible by public transport and offers off-street parking, making commuting simple from across Southwest London or beyond.
If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you. At Vetmatch, we take the time to get to know what you’re really looking for—and we only match you with practices where we believe you’ll thrive.
